is a v6 airbox worth the money?

[walk3r0]

im thinking on getting a v6 airbox as mine is still standard but not sure if its worth the cash? i no you dont get any decent gains as in power but what about the sound? is it much better than the standard one? or is there any that sound better than the v6?

cheers

It's not worth the money TBH unless you can get a second hand one from the for sale section.
Standard airbox with piper x filter, CAF and acoustic valve removed is the best setup, imo.
Although some say totally standard is best, most just stick in a good panel filter.

If you just want noise then the V6 box does sound good, if you do get one, get a JMS filter for it.

u did good mate.....Clio manufactures made a fine work on the standard airbox system so YES(i say) best option is the V6 airbox...i fitted a Ktec element in it...and im pleased.. as for the noise..when it reaches 2300rpm's i conferm why i did this.....(noise always depence from the element and the exhaust system u want to fit)
Thanks to KTec element and KTR ressesed exhaust system makes clio acting close to perfect at induction times & and a noise that i dont wakeup neibs to put a curse on me..!!

"sorry for my bad & uncorrect writing" ill keep trying tho"

[Bluebeard]

Induction noise is sooooo much better than exhaust noise imo.

Pipercross filter in it and you're onto a winner

 

[subarufreak]

the sound is addictive
you are going to want to use the revs more!

 

[walk3r0]

good god i cant get enough of the sound!!
never in a milion years thought it would be so good for a £60 mod

 

[mr.pink87]

you get the best noise from a v6-airbox if you mount it cup-racer-style straight off the throttlebody imo

 

[subarufreak]

what did you get then?

Not sure if im the only one thats done this. but here goes

I got hold of another standard Ph2 1*2 airbox bottom half and a new pipercross panel filter. I cut the bottom half of the airbox to bits leaving only the two mounting points to the car, all the screw holes for the top half and enough space to join a piece i made up with fibre glass.

Used the excess i cut from the bottom half as a template and made up a fibreglass piece that fits straight onto the bottom of the airbox. cut a hole in the bottom. bigger than standard, and then mounted a caf pipe into the hole.

The results were brilliant. and it looks standard when you lift the bonnet il need to take pics to show you guys
